Smoked Salmon ‘w’ Charred Lettuce Salad
Here is dinner for Wifey this very same day. I was under strict instructions to use stuff in the fridge nearing expiry. No rice or noodles. Salad, please. Wow, that narrows it down. But it definitely foes make it #BillWallaceFriendly. So dinner became a ‘what’s in the fridge’ creation and I am super pleased with it. I think it looks all sophisticated-like. Eye-catching. Interactive. And, by all accounts, pretty damned tasty. Well, Wifey ate it all.
